## Resource

Williston’s got a new police chief — and he’s no stranger to the area. Brian LaBarge, longtime deputy chief in Burlington, is stepping into the role after 21 years on the force, bringing with him a proven track record in community-focused policing. The town chose him after a nationwide search, praising his deep understanding of Williston’s needs and his modern, resident-centered approach. He’ll officially take the helm on August 3, replacing retiring Chief Patrick Foley, and is poised to shake up the department with fresh leadership and local insight.
